Janae Dunn

MCC student pursues acting career

Janae Dunn fell in love with the theatre at an early age, the thought of playing challenging characters driving her career goals.  At MCC she was cast in “Rumpelstiltskin”, and took on one of the most challenging roles she had ever played.  Her professor, Kevin Dressler, helped her through the transformation and the show, but also with her career.  “It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” Janae says, “It helped me develop self-confidence, skills, and intuition to propel my career forward.”
